I did a poll awhile back asking if people wanted me to go over highlights in toy news. The majority did want me to do that. That will be coming soon (probably starting with Toy Fair news, but this news is big enough that I wanted to do it now!

Super 7 has announced the first wave of their Collector's Choice Masters Of The Universe Classics figures! In case you are not aware, Super 7 now has the rights to produce MOTUC! They are planning to release 2 waves of "Collector's Choice", which was the new name for the regular classics after Mattel finished off the remakes of the vintage line. Each wave will consist of 4 figures and will be available to preorder in quarters 1 and 3. Club Grayskull, the toys based on the Filmation cartoon is also returning and will be 2 waves. Wave 1 in Quarter 2 and wave 2 in Quarter 4! There will also be Powercon exclusives made just like Mattel did last year! Wave 1 of Club Grayskull and the Powercon figures will be revealed at Toy Fair next month.

Now without further ado, the reveals, all of the information and pictures are from Super 7's website!

Super7 is proud to present the next wave of the Masters of the Universe Classics action figures! The line of deluxe 7" action figures continues with four brand new characters, sculpted by the Four Horsemen.

Fangor - The Evil Weapons Master of the Snake Men comes equipped with sword and snake-tools to aid in his construction of the fiendish serpent weaponry for his comrades. Fangor also comes with flying serpent accessory and alternate head.

Quakke - The Evil Mutant from the New Adventures of He-Man comes with his Grabatron Meteormace and two part Meteor.

Lodar - The Evil Master of Slave City comes with his mace and giant chains.

Each of these Masters of the Universe Classics will come in a package consistent with the existing Classics line. Look for release details soon!

By the Power of Grayskull!

So what do you think about the reveals? I have to say if I can find a way to come up with the money, I will buy Fangor and Hawke as I love the snakemen and Hawke looks great! No news on if you need to buy all 4 or can purchase separately in preorder like they did with the Ultimate wave and like they do with most other lines!

From what I hear, other than an issue with expensive shipping overseas, S7 is much better than Digital River/ Matty was. Buying wise, we still do not know if the preorders will allow single purchases, but we do know there most likely will not be any "extras" made for sale on their site after the preorder :(
